Fuel Digital Transformation with Massive Scale and High Availability

Let’s be frank. Your identity platform is only as good as its foundation. “Identity done right” gets done wrong without a rock-solid directory to store and access all that identity data.

Born from our telco heritage, ForgeRock Directory Services is the gold standard and was designed from the beginning for massive scale. A high-performance, high availability, web-scale directory that delivers throughput in the tens-of-thousands of logins per second to fuel organizations, like yours, with the power needed for today – and tomorrow’s – digital transformation.

With integration, you can configure aspects of privacy, consent, trusted devices, and more. This configuration sets up IDM as an OpenID Connect / […]

The ForgeRock Identity Microservices are able to read all runtime configuration from environment variables. These could be statically provided as hard coded key-value pairs in a Kubernetes manifest or shell script, but a better solution is to manage the configuration in a centralized configuration store such as Hashicorp Consul.

Another common need is for users to only be allowed to […]

Their Choice.

Protect and respect privacy. With ForgeRock, you can let your customers share data selectively. Ask them what’s okay to share, how, when, and with whom. Put them in charge, and they’ll put their trust in you.
